Rex Ryan gets emotional after disappointing Jets loss: 'I feel sick' (VIDEO)

You can usually expect a lot of high and lows at a Rex Ryan press conference but, after the Jets disappointing 16-13 loss to the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium Monday night, it seemed that the head coach had finally reached rock bottom and spilled his guts in front of the media.



And after 13 weeks of horrible football, the normally fiery coach somberly admitted : "I feel sick."



Ryan seemed to be holding back tears as he stood despondently at the podium, reflecting on what will surely be his last season as a Jet, one that has long been a disaster. 

“I can’t believe we’re 2-10,” he said. “A joke.”



Although the Jets had a shot at winning, there was no chance of salvaging Ryan's job. Rex is definitely living on borrowed time but, its kind of sad to see him go out like this.

Jets-Dolphins tickets selling as low as $11: Report

Forget the mall and Black Friday for low prices. If you are really searching for a bargain, look no further than MetLife Stadium and Green Monday.

Thousands of seats are still available for Monday night's Jets-Dolphins match-up where prices have tumbled as low as $11 on the secondary market — in what will be the cheapest ticket in MetLife Stadium’s NFL history.



By Sunday night, seats could be had for as little as $11 on the open market for Gang Green’s game against the Miami Dolphins, reported the N.Y. Post.

The tickets had a face value of $66 a piece, not including licensing fees paid by season-ticket holders. The average secondary-market price was $65, says TiqIQ, which tracks prices of resold ducats.

The previous low was set by the Jets’ game against the Arizona Cardinals on Dec. 2, 2012, when the lowest average asking price was $113, TiqIQ data show.



Adding to the non-demand for Jets ticket sellers is the 8:30p.m. kickoff for “Monday Night Football.”

East Coast prime-time games regularly drive down prices because local fans don’t want to be out after midnight on a work or school night.

So much for the City That Never Sleeps reputation.

In reality, between 50,000 to 60,000 fans will be at MetLife on Monday night, estimated Chris Matcovich, TiqIQ’s vice president of data and communications.

“Essentially, the Jets’ fan base has thrown in the white towel,” Matcovich said.

A city-based Dolphin fan club bought 1,100 tickets for Monday’s game — 900 from the MetLife box office and 200 from secondary sellers.

So expect to see a sea of aqua.

Broncos players weren't very happy after kicker missed FG (VIDEO)


With the Denver Broncos trailing the Miami Dolphins, 21-17, in the third quarter Sunday, Denver kicker Brandon McManus missed a routine 33-yard field goal when it hit the upright.

And that didn't sit well with Broncos guard Manny Ramirez or wideout DemaryiusThomas.


The two players were hardly the only players who were angry over the botched chip shot — McManus has now missed three of his last six field-goal attempts — but there was probably one teammate the kicker especially hoped he wouldn't run into on the sidelines — namely one Peyton Manning.




The missed field goals by McManus have re-ignited comparisons to clutch kicker Matt Prater, who was released by the Broncos in October following his four-game suspension and who has since signed with the Lions.

Somewhere, you know Prater is getting a real kick out of this.
